One Positive Action

Create a Positive Anchor

Here’s a simple but surprisingly effective idea: create a positive anchor. Think of something small like a coin, a pebble, or even a button that’s been floating around your junk drawer forever and keep it in your pocket. Every time you touch it, take a deep breath and think of something positive.

It might sound a little silly, but having that little reminder can work wonders when your day starts to feel like a chaotic mess. Imagine you’re in the middle of a stressful meeting, and your hand brushes against the anchor in your pocket. It’s like a gentle nudge saying, “Hey, breathe. Remember something good for a second.”

The fun part is making it personal. Pick something that means a little something to you, a stone from your favorite hike, a shell from the beach, or even that lucky penny you always forget to spend. When there’s a story or memory behind it, touching it becomes more than just a momentary pause. It’s a small, grounding connection to something that makes you feel good.

So, give it a try. Think of it as your secret weapon for staying calm and centered, one pocket-sized moment at a time.
